After rejecting several similar cases, the Missouri Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the legality of traffic cameras, specifically KMOX (1120 AM) radio host Charlie Brennan's case over his $124 ticket from a speed camera.

The court's verdict could have a statewide impact on laws for both speed cameras and red-light cameras, which are currently regulated by a patchwork of conflicting rules after years of legal and electoral challenges. Brennen's case could be the first camera case to reach the high courts, according to the Associated Press.

Moline Acres police issued Brennen, a morning talk show host, a ticket when a speed camera tracked him driving 56 mph in a 40 mph zone, according to the Post-Dispatch.

St. Louis County Associate Circuit Judge Mary Bruntrager Schroeder threw out the ticket because state law says drivers must be assigned points if they violate a law while in a moving vehicle. Schroeder cited a case from Creve Coeur, which just suspended its red-light-camera program, in her decision.
